Sightseeing



One of the aspects of this run that I am most looking forward to is sightseeing my way across the country on foot. Whenever we do a road trip, I play 'scout' and go tootling around the town on my run, looking for the craziest lawn ornament, the most magnificent houses, the best coffee shop, whatever interesting tidbit the locale may offer...
Today being a 30-mile day, I needed to keep the sightseeing aspect of the run in mind (rather than diving inward and focusing only on getting the miles done). Highlights:
  • Four deer crossing the street just a block ahead of me
  • A coyote hunting for then eating its breakfast
  • Fresh snow on the continental divide
  • And a plethora of blooms along the trail
